Proper Grounding - Craftex CX205 User Manual

Proper Grounding

Grounding provides
resistance for electric current to reduce the
risk of electric shock.
CX205 is equipped with a 220-V single
phase motor and provided with a power
supply cord that is to be connected directly
to the source. See figure-3.
CX206 is equipped with a 220-V single
phase motor and features a terminal block
in the electrical connection box and is not
supplied with a power cord.
Make sure that the machine is connected to
an outlet having the same configuration. If
an adaptor plug is used, it must be attached
to the metal screw of the receptacle. To
prevent electrical hazards, have a qualified
electrician ensure that the line is properly
wired.

WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded.
It is strongly recommended not to use
extension cords with your CX205/CX206.
Always try to position your machine close to
the power source so that you do not need
to use extension cords.
When it is necessary to use an extension
cord, make sure the extension cord does
not exceed 50-feet in length and the cord is
12-gauge to prevent motor damage.
Your CX205/CX206 should be wired with a
plug having 3-prongs to fit a 3 prong
grounded receptacle as shown in figure-3.
Do not remove the grounding prong to fit it
into a 2-pronged outlet. Always check with
a qualified electrician if you are in doubt.
